There's a permie managerman here who's just read an article in the Dutch IT press saying there's no 'transparency' in contractors' rates and he'd like to know where the money goes that his employer pays. He says it would be nice to see a breakdown of the costs of a contractor.
So I thought we could make a little list for him of the typical contractor's costs. Not all of these pertain to myself, but I'm sure we could make this entertaining with a little imagination, then I can send him a breakdown of the costs that a typical contractor runs up in a month.
- restaurants
- fuel for 4 and 5 litre contractormobiles
- occasional training courses
- adult toys to keep the Mrs busy while working away
- selection of fine wines
- porn subscriptions
- gimp suits
- cocaine
- ho's
- Cuban cigars
- exotic holidays
- swinger club membership fees
Please add your suggestions so he can get a full picture of how expensive the contracting life really is and why we need good rates.
